Although modern technology could help produce more crops, the Longji Rice Terraces mean a lot to the local people________traditions hold much value. A. of whom B. with whom C. for whom D. from whom 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查定语从句。句意：虽然现代技术可以帮助生产更多的作物，但龙脊梯田对当地人来说意义重大，对他们来说，传统具有很高的价值。分析句子结构和选项可知，此处为“介词+which/whom”结构引导的定语从句，先行词是the local people，所以关系代词使用whom，根据句意，此处表示的是“对当地人来说”，介词使用for符合句意。故选C项 9. We do have the most supportive parents and teachers, ________ will make a difference to our study, unless all of us make every effort. A. none of them B. all of them C. none of whom D. all of whom 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查定语从句和代词辨析。句意：我们固然拥有最鼎力支持的父母和老师，但除非我们所有人全力以赴，否则他们谁也无法对我们的学业产生实质性的影响。“________ will make a significant difference to our study, unless all of us make great efforts.”为非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词parents and teachers，且从句中缺少主语，所以空格处需要一个关系代词来引导该定语从句，并在从句中作主语。A、B两项不是定语从句的关系词，可排除。根据“unless all of us make great efforts”可知，此处表示“除非我们所有人全力以赴，否则他们谁也无法对我们的学业产生实质性的影响”，应用none of whom，表示“他们中任何一个都不”。故选项C。 10. Many young people, most ________ were well-educated, headed for remote regions to chase their dreams. A of whom B. of them C. of which D. of those 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查定语从句。句意：许多年轻人（其中大多数人受过良好教育）前往偏远地区追寻自己的梦想。此处为“介词+关系代词”引导的非限制性定语从句，most of大多数；定语从句修饰的先行词为Many young people，指人，关系词作定语从句中of的宾语，应使用关系代词whom。故选A。 11.

A. for which B. for that C. in which D. in that 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查定语从句。句意：学校自己承认并非所有的孩子都会在为之培训的工作中获得成功。这里是“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句，先行词是jobs，指物，关系词在定语从句中作介词的宾语，关系代词用which，从句的完整句子应该是这样：they are being trained for the jobs，用介词for，即for which。故选A项。 12. Children are likely to ________ some bad habits when playing the piano if they don't have proper lessons. A. pick up B. end up C. make up D. catch up 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查动词短语辨析。句意：孩子们在弹钢琴时如果不上正确的课，就有可能养成一些坏习惯。A.pick up 捡起，养成（习惯）；B. end up最终成为；以……告终；C. make up编造， 弥补；D. catch up别后叙谈。根据句中的“some bad habits”可知，pick up some bad habits意为“不经意间养成了坏习惯”符合语境。故选A项。 13. ---I heard Mr. Smith is the newly elected president of your university. ---Yes. But with a lot of difficult problems ________, he is having a hard time.

Dr. Li as well as her parents, ______hard to treat patients and develop medicines over the past two months. A. are working B. have been working C. has been working D. is working 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查时态及主谓一致。句意：在过去的两个月里，李医生和她的父母一直在努力治疗病人和开发药物。该空动词work在句子作谓语，根据时间状语over the past two months可知，应该使用现在完成进行时。as well as连接主语时，谓语动词与之前的主语保持一致。主语Dr. Li为单数人称，所以谓语动词应使用单数形式。故选C项。 15. One of the most wonderful migrations in nature is ______ of the North American monarch butterfly. A. one B. that C. it D. this 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查代词。句意：自然界中最奇妙的迁徙之一是北美帝王蝶的迁徙。空格处指代的是前面的一次迁徙（migration），指“迁徙”这件事，单数，因此用that指代前面出现的同类可数名词单数或不可数名词，故选B。 Ⅲ.完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分） 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 One night, when I was eight , my mother gently asked me a question I would never forget. “Sweetie, my company wants to___16___me but needs me to work in Brazil.

Teen Ink has no staff writers or artists. The magazine and website are devoted entirely to writing, artworks, and photos by teens. It’s also a good platform for teens interested in writing and publishing non-fiction essays and articles, as well as poetry. Tumblr The microblogging platform is a wonderful place for bold (大胆自信的) self-expression, and it is also suitable for young literature lovers and book-worms. Tumblr optionally allows users to raise questions about the blog, and it also offers a “fan mail” function, so users can send messages to those bloggers they like. 36.

Sometimes, Figment offers writing contests to help young writers improve their skills. (用户不仅可以在上面“发表”并阅读短篇故事、诗歌、抒情诗、散文和小说，还可以评论、回应和评价其他用户的作品。有时，Figment还会举办写作比赛来帮助年轻作家提高他们的技能)”可知，年轻作家在Figment上可以发表自己的作品并参加写作比赛。故选D项。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Wattpad”部分“Wattpad is described as “the YouTube of writing” because it allows amateur (业余的) creators to share their works with others.

A group of top Chinese scientists start their ten-nation tour next month.(来自中国的报道指出，中国人希望加强中国与美国及西欧国家之间的联系。一批顶尖的中国科学家将于下月开始他们的十国访问之旅)”可知，为了改善中美和西欧的关系，中国将派一批科学家访问美国和西欧，故选A项。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“City schools are still closed after two weeks.(城市学校两周后仍然停课)”可知，从迈阿密的新闻中，我们知道学生两周未上课，故选C项。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Women who drink more than two cups of coffee a day have greater chance of having heart disease than women who do not.(每天饮用超过两杯咖啡的女性患心脏病的几率要高于不饮用咖啡的女性)”可知，关于健康的新闻告诉我们女性的心脏病与她们喝咖啡的量有关，故选D项。 C GOING TO UNIVERSITY is supposed to be a mind-broadening experience. That statement is probably made in comparison to training for work straight after school, which might not be so encouraging. But is it actually true? Jessika Golle of the University of Tübingen, in Germany, thought she would try to find out. Her result, however, is not quite what might be expected. As she reports in Psychological Science this week, she found that those who have been to university do indeed seem to leave with broader and more inquiring minds than those who have spent their immediate post-school years in vocational (职业的) training for work. However, it was not the case that university broadened minds. Rather, work seemed to narrow them. Dr. Golle came to this conclusion after she and a team of colleagues studied the early careers of 2,095 German youngsters. The team used two standardized tests to assess their volunteers. One was of personality traits, including openness, conscientiousness（认真）and so on. The other was of attitudes, such as realistic, investigative and enterprising. They administered both tests twice—once towards the end of each volunteer’s time at school, and then again six years later. Of the original group, 382 were on the intermediate track, from which there was a choice between the academic and vocational routes, and it was on these that the researchers focused. University beckoned for 212 of them. The remaining 170 chose vocational training and a job. When it came to the second round of tests, Dr. Golle found that the personalities of those who had gone to university had not changed significantly. Those who had undergone vocational training and then got jobs were not that much changed in personality, either—except in one crucial respect. They had become more conscientious. That sounds like a good thing, certainly compared with the common public image of undergraduates as a bunch of lazybones. But changes in attitude that the researchers recorded were rather worrying. In the university group, again, none were detectable. But those who had chosen the vocational route showed marked drops in interest in tasks that are investigative and enterprising in nature. And that might restrict their choice of careers. Some investigative and enterprising jobs, such as scientific research, are, indeed beyond the degreeless. But many, particularly in Germany, with its tradition of vocational training, are not. The researchers mention, for example, computer programmers and finance-sector workers as careers requiring these traits. If Dr. Golle is correct, and changes in attitude brought about by the very training Germany prides itself on are narrowing people’s choices, that is indeed a matter worthy of serious consideration. 42. Which of the following can best replace “beckoned for” in Paragraph 2? A. Examined. B. Attracted. C. Organized. D. Recognized. 43. What can we learn from the research? A. The degreeless have not changed in personalities. B. Going to university is a mind-broadening experience. C. Working straight after school narrows people’s minds. D. College students pride themselves on their education. 44. According to the last two paragraphs, . A. college students enjoy a very good public image B. the undergraduates have changed significantly in attitude C. the degreeless are much better at dealing with challenging tasks D. people show less interest in investigative jobs due to vocational training 45. What is the author’s attitude towards the finding? A. Concerned. B. Optimistic. C. Unclear. D. Sceptical. 【答案】42. B 43. C 44. D 45. A 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇社会类短文阅读。德国蒂宾根大学的Jessika Golle通过对比调查上大学和参加职业培训的两组人之间在个性特征和态度方面的差别，指出选择职业路线的人在调查性和进取性的任务上表现出明显的兴趣下降，而这可能会限制他们选择职业。而德国有悠久的职业培训历史，如果这一发现是正确的，那么由于培训而带来态度上的变化缩小了人们的选择，这确实是一个值得认真考虑的问题。 【42题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章第二段Of the original group, 382 were on the intermediate track, from which there was a choice between the academic and vocational routes, and it was on these that the researchers focused. University beckoned for 212 of them. The remaining 170 chose vocational training and a job.可知，原始组中有382人就读中等学校，这些人是研究人员重点关注的对象。其中212名被大学录取，剩下的170人选择职业培训或参加工作。根据后句The remaining 170 chose vocational training and a job.从而可以猜测出beckoned for为“召唤；吸引”之意。故选B。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段As she reports in Psychological Science this week,she found that those who have been to university do indeed seem to leave with broader and more inquiring minds than those who have spent their immediate post-school years in vocational training for work.However, it was not the case that university broadened minds. Rather, work seemed to narrow them.可知，本周她在《心理科学》的报告称，她发现和那些离校后马上进行职业训练的人相比，那些读过大学的人看起来确实在毕业后有更加开阔的探索性的思维。但大学能够开阔思维，其实并非如此。而是工作似乎会使思维狭隘。故选C。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后两段，尤其倒数第二段中But those who had chosen the vocational route showed marked drops in interest in tasks that are investigative and enterprising in nature.可知，但是那些选择职业培训的人，他们对调查型和进取性任务的兴趣明显下降，从而可以推断出由于职业培训，人们对调查性工作的兴趣降低。故选D。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段If Dr. Golle is correct, and changes in attitude brought about by the very training Germany prides itself on are narrowing people’s choices, that is indeed a matter worthy of serious consideration.可知，如果Golle的结论正确，并且由于培训（德国人以此为傲）而带来态度上的变化缩小了人们的选择，这确实是一个值得认真考虑的问题，可以推断出，作者对这一发现持关注的态度。故选A。 【点睛】推断题属于主观性较强的高层次阅读理解题，做这类题目时，同学们要严格依据作者所陈述的细节、事实以及作者的措词、态度和语气，找出能够表露作者思想倾向和感情色彩的词句，然后利用自己已获得的相关知识进行推理判断，从而得出符合逻辑的结论。例如小题4，就是根据文章最后一段If Dr. Golle is correct, and changes in attitude brought about by the very training Germany prides itself on are narrowing people’s choices, that is indeed a matter worthy of serious consideration.中的关键词a matter worthy of serious consideration（一个值得认真考虑的问题）可以推断出，作者对这一发现持关注的态度，从而可以推断出答案。 第Ⅱ卷（共25分） V.阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容完成下列各题。 My name is Clare, welcome to University College London Library. When you join the university you are given an ID card which also counts as your library card. So when you find the book you want to borrow you get your ID card, go to the reception desk and you give them the card and the book. They scan the book, put it onto your library record, the computer reads the bar code (条形码) — then you can borrow it. To borrow a book, you need to come to the catalogue hall and get the computer screen. For example, we’re going for “book title”— if you click under “type word or phrase”— so we put in “Oliver Twist”, then click on “go” and it comes up with all the titles with Oliver Twist. So we’ll go with this one say the 1949 edition. It’ll tell you which library it’ll be in and how many copies are available, so we’ll then go and find the book. The main problems that students have with using the library card are things like when the books haven’t been borrowed but cannot be found on the shelf. It’s likely that they’re often being used by someone in the library, so they are not on the shelf. My advice when using the library card would be: ask others for help, either the librarians or other students. They’re more than delighted to help. So next time, don’t hesitate to ask, because we are here to help. Another good way is to come to a library tour. Most libraries will hold tours for new students within the first two weeks or so of term —make sure you come on one of the tours and they will show you where everything is and how it all works. 46. What is Clare’s job? (no more than 10 words) ___________________________________________________________________________ 47. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? (no more than 10 words) ___________________________________________________________________________ 48. Where is it if a book that is not borrowed but cannot be found on the shelf? (no more than 10 words) ___________________________________________________________________________ 49. What is the meaning of the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4? (no more than 10 words) ___________________________________________________________________________ 50. What do you think of your school library? Why? (no more than 20 words) ___________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】46. He (She) is one of the librarian staff. 47. How to borrow a book in the library. 48. It’s probably being used in the library. 49. They’re very/extremely glad/happy to help you. Or: They’re well pleased to help you. 50. It’s helpful to us because it has plenty of goodbooks to borrow and read. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，是伦敦大学学院图书馆的使用指南。 【46题详解】 考查推理判断。根据第一段“My name is Clare, welcome to University College London Library.(我叫克莱尔，欢迎来到伦敦大学学院图书馆。)”推知，Clare是图书管理员之一。故答案为He (She) is one of the librarian staff. 【47题详解】 考查主旨大意。根据第二段“To borrow a book, you need to come to the catalogue hall and get the computer screen. For example, we’re going for “book title”— if you click under “type word or phrase”— so we put in “Oliver Twist”, then click on “go” and it comes up with all the titles with Oliver Twist. So we’ll go with this one say the 1949 edition. It’ll tell you which library it’ll be in and how many copies are available, so we’ll then go and find the book.(要借书，你需要到目录厅拿电脑屏幕。例如，我们要搜索“书名”——如果你点击“键入单词或短语”——我们输入“雾都孤儿”，然后点击“搜索”，它就会出现所有与雾都孤儿有关的书名。我们就选1949年的版本吧。它会告诉你这本书在哪个图书馆，有多少本可用，然后我们就去找这本书。)”可知，第二段主要讲的是如何在图书馆借书，故答案为How to borrow a book in the library. 【48题详解】 考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段“It’s likely that they’re often being used by someone in the library, so they are not on the shelf.(很可能它们经常被图书馆里的人使用，所以它们不在书架上。)”可知，如果一本书没有借，但在书架上找不到，它可能正在被阅读，故答案为It’s probably being used in the library. 【49题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据最后一段“So next time, don’t hesitate to ask, because we are here to help.(所以下次，不要犹豫，尽管问，因为我们是来帮忙的。)”可知，图书管理员或其他学生是非常乐意帮忙的，划线句子意思是“他们非常乐意帮忙”。故答案为They’re very/extremely glad/happy to help you. Or: They’re well pleased to help you. 【50题详解】 考查推理判断。结合实际情况，我认为我学校的图书馆对我们很有帮助，因为它有很多好书可以借阅。故答案为It’s helpful to us because it has plenty of goodbooks to borrow and read.

However, besides providing them with different kinds of reading materials, you can direct them to the following websites offering great resources to future storytellers. Figment This is an online community and self-publishing platform for young writers. Users can not only “publish” and read short stories, poetry, lyrics (抒情诗), essays, and novels on it but also review, react to and comment on works from other users. Sometimes, Figment offers writing contests to help young writers improve their skills. Wattpad Wattpad is described as “the YouTube of writing” because it allows amateur (业余的) creators to share their works with others. It claims to have more than 90 million users. Well-known writers, such as Margaret Atwood and Cory Doctorow, even post their works here. Teen Ink Supported by the non-profit Young Authors Foundation Teen Ink has offered teens the opportunity to publish their creative works and express opinions on issues that affect their lives for many years. Teen Ink has no staff writers or artists. The magazine and website are devoted entirely to writing, artworks, and photos by teens. It’s also a good platform for teens interested in writing and publishing non-fiction essays and articles, as well as poetry. Tumblr The microblogging platform is a wonderful place for bold (大胆自信的) self-expression, and it is also suitable for young literature lovers and book-worms. Tumblr optionally allows users to raise questions about the blog, and it also offers a “fan mail” function, so users can send messages to those bloggers they like. 36. What can young writers do on Figment? A. They can sell their published novels without any limit. B. They can watch videos on writing techniques. C. They can only read short stories written by others. D. They can publish their own works and participate in writing contests. 37. Why is Wattpad called “the YouTube of writing”? A. Amateur authors can show their works on it. B. Users can watch and review videos on it. C. It is supported by YouTube. D. It is as popular as YouTube. 38. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To recommend useful writing and reading platforms. B. To share different kinds of reading materials. C. To advertise books written by young writers. D. To introduce some well-known writers. B This is news on the hour, Ed Wilson reporting. The President and First Lady will visit Africa on a goodwill tour in May. They plan to visit eight African countries. Reports from China say the Chinese want closer ties between China and the U. S. and Western Europe. A group of top Chinese scientists start their ten-nation tour next month. Here in Miami, the mayor is still meeting with the leaders of the Teachers’ Union to try to find a way to end the strike (罢工). City schools are still closed after two weeks. In the news about health, Scientists in California report findings of a relationship (关系) between the drinking of coffee and the increase of heart disease among women. According to the report in the American Medical Journal (杂志), the five-year study shows this. Women who drink more than two cups of coffee a day have greater chance of having heart disease than women who do not. In sports, the Charges lost again last night. The BBs beat them 1 to nothing. The Wingers had better results. They beat the Rifles 7 to 3. It was their first win in their last five matches. That’s the news of the hour. And now back to more easy listening with Jan Singer. 39. To improve the ties between China and the U. S. and Western Europe, China ________. A. will send a group of Chinese scientists to pay a visit to the U. S. and the Western Europe B. will send some scientists to visit U. S. only C. has expressed its strong wishes D. has given many reports to improve the ties 40. From the news in Miami we know ________. A. a peaceful way will soon be found B. the teachers’ strike will last long C. students haven’t been to school for two weeks D. students can’t go into the school because the classrooms are tightly locked 41. The news about health tells us that ________. A. no heart disease will be found of people who don’t drink coffee B no one should drink more than two cups of coffee a day C. the more coffee people drink, the more likely they’ll have heart disease D. women’s heart disease has something to do with the amount of coffee they drink C GOING TO UNIVERSITY is supposed to be a mind-broadening experience. That statement is probably made in comparison to training for work straight after school, which might not be so encouraging. But is it actually true? Jessika Golle of the University of Tübingen, in Germany, thought she would try to find out. Her result, however, is not quite what might be expected. As she reports in Psychological Science this week, she found that those who have been to university do indeed seem to leave with broader and more inquiring minds than those who have spent their immediate post-school years in vocational (职业的) training for work. However, it was not the case that university broadened minds. Rather, work seemed to narrow them. Dr. Golle came to this conclusion after she and a team of colleagues studied the early careers of 2,095 German youngsters. The team used two standardized tests to assess their volunteers. One was of personality traits, including openness, conscientiousness（认真）and so on. The other was of attitudes, such as realistic, investigative and enterprising. They administered both tests twice—once towards the end of each volunteer’s time at school, and then again six years later. Of the original group, 382 were on the intermediate track, from which there was a choice between the academic and vocational routes, and it was on these that the researchers focused. University beckoned for 212 of them. The remaining 170 chose vocational training and a job. When it came to the second round of tests, Dr. Golle found that the personalities of those who had gone to university had not changed significantly. Those who had undergone vocational training and then got jobs were not that much changed in personality, either—except in one crucial respect. They had become more conscientious. That sounds like a good thing, certainly compared with the common public image of undergraduates as a bunch of lazybones. But changes in attitude that the researchers recorded were rather worrying. In the university group, again, none were detectable. But those who had chosen the vocational route showed marked drops in interest in tasks that are investigative and enterprising in nature. And that might restrict their choice of careers. Some investigative and enterprising jobs, such as scientific research, are, indeed beyond the degreeless. But many, particularly in Germany, with its tradition of vocational training, are not. The researchers mention, for example, computer programmers and finance-sector workers as careers requiring these traits. If Dr. Golle is correct, and changes in attitude brought about by the very training Germany prides itself on are narrowing people’s choices, that is indeed a matter worthy of serious consideration. 42. Which of the following can best replace “beckoned for” in Paragraph 2? A. Examined. B. Attracted. C. Organized. D. Recognized. 43. What can we learn from the research? A. The degreeless have not changed in personalities. B. Going to university is a mind-broadening experience. C. Working straight after school narrows people’s minds. D. College students pride themselves on their education. 44. According to the last two paragraphs, .

When you join the university you are given an ID card which also counts as your library card. So when you find the book you want to borrow you get your ID card, go to the reception desk and you give them the card and the book. They scan the book, put it onto your library record, the computer reads the bar code (条形码) — then you can borrow it. To borrow a book, you need to come to the catalogue hall and get the computer screen. For example, we’re going for “book title”— if you click under “type word or phrase”— so we put in “Oliver Twist”, then click on “go” and it comes up with all the titles with Oliver Twist. So we’ll go with this one say the 1949 edition. It’ll tell you which library it’ll be in and how many copies are available, so we’ll then go and find the book. The main problems that students have with using the library card are things like when the books haven’t been borrowed but cannot be found on the shelf. It’s likely that they’re often being used by someone in the library, so they are not on the shelf. My advice when using the library card would be: ask others for help, either the librarians or other students. They’re more than delighted to help. So next time, don’t hesitate to ask, because we are here to help. Another good way is to come to a library tour. Most libraries will hold tours for new students within the first two weeks or so of term —make sure you come on one of the tours and they will show you where everything is and how it all works. 46.
